Dare I say it?

Could it be ______? It's been so long in coming that I don't want to scare it away.

In any case, it's time for an ice cream blip. These kind people were happy to pose for me although I lacked the gumption to 'shepherd them about' as another blipper says he does.

I wondered afterwards if they were happy to pose because they thought I was on holiday and asked how long I was over for. Perhaps sounding like a tourist has its advantages... :-)
